Sun, 20 Aug 2023 Federico Riva TEFL Information Is getting a TEFL or TESOL certificate difficult?

Whilst the same two areas are covered in any TEFL or TESOL certification course, the time taken to complete the course is greatly reduced. The typical TEFL or TESOL course may only take 120-hours. The teaching of EFL therefore offers you the opportunity to enter the teaching profession in a very short time, compared to...  [Read more]
